OUR TRAIN JOURNEY FROM SYDNEY TO ADELAIDE ...
Ticket information and luggage checks for our ride on the Indian Pacific.
G-MAX REVERSE BUNGY AT CLARKE QUAY IN SINGAPORE ...
Imagine a huge slingshot and you're the stone. You will be strapped tight and safe to a steel-reinforced capsule and hurled 60 metres upwards between two 36 metre high towers at 200km per hour! And no, we didn't try it!
THE ROCKS DISTRICT IN SYDNEY ...
This restored historical district offers everything from boutique shops to fine art galleries. There are also a great collection of restaurants, street entertainment, historical buildings and artifacts from a much earlier Sydney. Named after the sandstone bluffs from which the first convicts cut bricks to construct the town’s public buildings.
FERRY TICKET TO MANLY ...
We took a Daytripper on the ferry from Sydney's Circular Quay across to Manly Wharfe. It runs most days every half an hour and takes 35 minutes, the cost being $16.00 Australian dollars per ticket. We didn't take any photos, but had a good look around. It was a humid day and we bought nectarines and fizzy orange from the supermarket to quench our thirst.
THE SCHOOL OF THE AIR ...
We called in at the visitors centre as part of a tour of Alice Springs. Here they use unique methods of educating students of the remote areas of Australia, via HF Radio, Satellite and correspondence material, broadcasting to an area of 1,300,000 km2, and have educated central Australians for over fifty years.
EVEN BASIL BRUSH HAS VISITED THE SYDNEY PYLON ...
BONDI BEACH LIFESAVERS ...
We didn't get to see one on the day we visited.
AUSTRALIAN SEALION ...
ABORIGINAL ARTWORK ...
SOUTHERN CASSOWARY ...
Carries a reputation for being bad tempered and dangerous. I find this so hard to believe!
WHATS THIS? VIOLET CRUMBLE ...
This is an extremely popular Australian chocolate bar, made by Nestle! It is made from a centre of crisp, crumbly, crunchy honeycomb, and coated with milk chocolate, very similar to a Cadbury Crunchie, and the debate has been on for years over which is better? They are slightly different honeycomb bars, but I must admit I like the Cadbury version the best!
AND POLLY WAFFLE ...
A waffle wafer tube filled with marshmallow and coated in milk chocolate, also by Nestle.
